    Hi @johnb53290723,

     

    Thanks for writing to us. Please refer to this KB article for setting up testing server in Dw.

    For ASP environment, use Visual Studio Code by Microsoft.

       Visual Studio Code

    + Live Preview Extension



    Hope that helps.

    Unfortunately without a server to process the code, DW cannot show you what your page will look like in Live View which is why this is necessary.. The testing server is different from your live server. It could be hosted somewhere online, and if offered by your host, they would be able to provide. If your host does not support testing environments, then you will need to set one up yourself in a local environment on your computer. This article, while from another application, will show you how to install IIS on Windows 11. Other versions of Windows will have similar processes to set it up.
